Aside from the highly-publicised unavailability of Adrien Silva, Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare has a fully-fit squad to choose from for this weekend's trip to Huddersfield.

Shakespeare has largely stuck with the same side in the Premier League so far this season, Islam Slimani's inclusion ahead of the jet-lagged Shinji Okazaki against Chelsea the only change to City's XI in four league matches.

Your preferred XI

We’ve been asking for your preferred City line-ups for this weekend’s game at Huddersfield and all those we’ve seen have been nearly identical.

Fans want to see Vicente Iborra alongside Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho next to Jamie Vardy up front, keeping the rest of the line-up as is.

The only position for debate appears to be at centre-back. While Wes Morgan is currently the favourite to play alongside Harry Maguire, Robert Huth and new signing Aleksandar Dragovic have also been suggested.

Barnes off to Wembley

There’s an early-season trip to Wembley for City youngster Harvey Barnes.

The teenage midfielder played 90 minutes for loan club Barnsley as they defeated Derby 3-2 in the Carabao Cup second round (nearly getting himself on the scoresheet with a third-minute 25-yarder that crashed against the crossbar).

Barnsley’s win has set up a third-round tie away against Tottenham next week, which means Barnes could make his Wembley debut at the age of 19.

City scout at Benfica

The Champions League group stage kicked off last night, bringing back plenty of memories for City fans, who were making their way to Bruges this time last year.

A calf problem prevented Danny Drinkwater taking to the field but there were a couple of former City players in action, N’Golo Kante making his Champions League debut in Chelsea’s 6-0 win over Qarabag and former loanee Jesse Lingard playing the final 20 minutes of Manchester United’s 3-0 success against Basel.

City didn’t totally miss out though, as they sent a scout to watch CSKA Moscow beat Benfica 2-1 in Lisbon.

They were one of nine Premier League teams represented in the stands at the Estadio da Luz.

Iborra in line for debut

The *ahem* Silva lining to the Adrien saga is that Vicente Iborra is fit and could give Craig Shakespeare an extra option in midfield.

Who starts in your City line-up?

Kelechi Iheanacho, Vicente Iborra and Robert Huth’s returns to fitness have given Craig Shakespeare some selection dilemmas for this weekend’s trip to Huddersfield.

If you were in Shakespeare’s Puma trainers, who would you select? Iheanacho Or Shinji Okazaki to play alongside Jamie Vardy? Iborra or Matty James to partner Wilfred Ndidi? Or would you abandon 4-4-2 altogether?
